Online Discussion of Respiratory Care Article Reviews
The turn out for our July 1 RT Article Review was very dishearting. I arrived at 7pm ordered a sandwich and drink and waited until 730pm. No one arrived. I should know by now that only those very dedicated people to their profession would take the time to meet in a group to increase they awareness and share their expertise with their peers. To this end I will post the Monthly Article for review at http://RCPSAM.com and discussions of the article will be posted on this blog. At some future date I will set up a group conference line so those interested can share their thoughts on the Montly Articles.

Participation in The NWA RCP Monthly Article Review is strickly voluntary.

RCPs who smoke
Do you think Respiratory Care Practitioners who smoke are disrespectful of their patients?
Patients that smell tobacco smoke on the clothing, hands, or hair of nurses, therapist, pca's and other caregivers should request another professional to care for them.
In Arkansas, Louisiana, and California smoking in an automobile with minors is against the law. Our patients should have the same rights as minors in a car when it comes to Third-Hand smoke.
The residue found in Third-Hand smoke includes, heavy metals, carcinogens and, even radioactive materials that are dangerous to both children and adults.
Isn't it time we protect our customers from the effects of Third-Hand smoke.
